What an enlightening experience! I've taken the "normal" tour of Neuchwanstein and learned one tenth of what I did on this guided tour. Thoroughly enjoyable!

The tour and guide were outstanding. Even with the fog, the stories and tour was well worth the money. And we WILL book again...(when it's not so foggy). Thanks!

You overcharged the hell out of me. You charged me over $200 for 2 people but others showed up at the tour and paid only €66. You're scum and I'm never going to use your service again and I'm going to advice everyone I know to stay away from you.

The guide ... Jonnie was first class on knowledge and carrying a fun mood! We had a great time. However... Disappointingly I paid for tickets that said they included castle acccess and we had to pay additional amounts to enter.

A fairytale castle

Located in the village of Schwangau, enter the wonderful Neuschwanstein Castle. Opened to the public in 1886, the Romanesque Revival-style structure is surrounded by a magical and fascinating ambiance with views of the lake, waterfall gorge, and the 19th-century Hohenschwangau Castle. You'll actually feel like you're walking inside a fairy tale dream! An audio guide available in 19 languages gives you a deeper insight into the castle and its history.

Built by Bavarian ruler, King Ludwig II, Neuschwanstein Castle has a magnificent limestone facade and its interior is as beautiful as its outside with 14 rooms. The rooms were majestically decorated at Ludwig II’s sudden death in 1886. Make sure to visit the 2-story throne room which has a Byzantine-style design with wall paintings depicting angels.
